CVE-2025-47287: Tornado vulnerable to excessive logging caused by malformed multipart form data

May 16, 2025 (updated May 29, 2025)

When Tornado’s multipart/form-data parser encounters certain errors, it logs a warning but continues trying to parse the remainder of the data. This allows remote attackers to generate an extremely high volume of logs, constituting a DoS attack. This DoS is compounded by the fact that the logging subsystem is synchronous.
